True dat!

Just noticing how buff this guy's gotten since he first starting appearing on TV. Some of the fights to get documents released must have been tough! lol

We could probably go back to the founding of our country if we wanted. I've read where there were some pretty heated fights even back then. Still, we've always made it through. I suspect we will again.

I really think it's just the margins right now anyway. May be wrong. But, I think most are somewhere in the middle.

Trump has definitely done some stuff I don't agree with at all. But, he's also done some stuff where I do agree with him. To me, that's typical. As long as he keeps the Socialists at bay, I can look past some of the other.

I sure wish he'd quit buying stakes in private businesses. To me, that's a slippery slope towards socialism and asking for trouble. Not a fan of the pattern.

We could always take it back to the beginning. Since CB talked about the bicentennial, I tried to keep it close and from personal experiences. I had an indoctrinating professor at Lamar in the 70s.

Just read this, don’t know if it’s true but wouldn’t that be funny. Lol

Reagan could plant a Trump 2028 in his front yard! He’d be shaking with excitement!
 

BREAKING: Trump has filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court to nullify his first term due to the malicious persecution from the Democrats.

If he's successful, this would be his first actual term, leaving 2028 open for discussion.

Should he run if he wins the case?

He would not remember filing let alone walking a straight line.  By that time he should be enjoying his great-great-grandkids.

Trump just matched the democrats in their game…and they don’t like it.  He s just louder and because he was/is the president it just stands out more along with the media being mostly democrat leaning.

I disagree… which president of either party has acted like Trump? 
 

Which president has a soft core porn actress for a wife? Which president has tried to rename half of Washington after himself? Which other president spoke so hatefully to our allies? Which other President had a felony conviction? The vulgarities… attacked his own party members openly? Endorsed primary challengers against incumbents from his own party? Bragged about sexually assaulting women? Threatens our allies like Greenland? Tripled his net worth with insider trading deals barely a year into his term? Tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power after losing? Ordered a mid-census redistricting to eliminate minority voters? 
 

That’s nowhere near a complete list… but i can’t think of another president who has done any of those things… from either party. 
 

So when you say “he’s just doing what the democrats do,” you’re just doing what Trump does all the time…being dishonest.

Which other poster would make a post like this? CB/ TheMissingBand. 😂

I’ll give this as an example… ask Google “when has a president endorsed a primary challenger for a sitting senator from his own party?” It’s only happened twice… And it was Trump both times. 
 

Everybody knows that Paxton is corrupt… the only difference between him and Trump is that Trump’s corruption is on a larger scale. Paxton carries the stench of corruption, an ongoing divorce from his wife who accused him of cheating, a bipartisan impeachment in the Texas Lege, federal investigations into his crooked dealings, and an all around jerk of a human being. His opponent is a multi-term senator whose biggest “fault” is that he occasionally voted against Trump’s ideas. 
 

So when someone says “i don’t care… I’ll never vote for a socialist or trans,” but instead votes for corruption because Trump tells them to-it says all you need to know. They aren’t voting against socialism, they’re voting the way Trump tells them to.
